SHAMBHALA LION EDITIONS is please to present these digitally remastered versions from the original analogue tapes of eleven of Lord Buckley's now hard-to-find recordings - some available here for the first time. In settings ranging from the speakeasies of the 1920s to the jazz clubs and college campuses of the '60s, the jive slang monologues of Lord Buckley attracted generations of fans devoted to his unique visionary brand of humor. In bringing the lives of literary and historical figures hilariously down to street level, he showed us how to recognize ourselves in the, revealing something of the sorrow and joy of the human condition and showing us how to laugh at it. His legacy lives on in the many performers who have acknowledged his influence on their work - Lenny Bruce, Bob Dylan, Robin Williams, and Whoopie Goldberg among them.cers on a split bill which had the distinction of being the only church performance ever raided by the vice squad. The bizarre incidents would. (and undoubtedly will) fill a book.
